I agree. Let the other makes try it out. Otherwise, Goodyear needs to get there act together. They couldn't tell this problem was going to happen when they practiced? 10 Laps at a time is rediculous.

Going more than 25 miles on a set of tires?
Priceless........................

gvervoren · 07-29-2008, 09:28 PM

Yea especially seeing how each tire cost $425!!!!! If I were a team owner, I would want some of my money back for those tires.

If Goodyear was smart they would have bought back all of the tires. They would sell for a bunch to collectors.

falcongtho3 · 07-29-2008, 10:27 PM

They'll probably end up on eBay!

I think starting tomorrow I'll try to sell my customers tires for $425/ea. and tell them they're guaranteed for 25 miles, but they're NASCAR spec...we'll see what kind of response I get.

Kenseth is wishing that he got 25 miles on his tires.

They could tout them as the "Gone in 60 seconds" Eagles.

$400 is way too much for "maypops".

falcongtho3 · 07-31-2008, 07:22 AM

Reading everythign I can on the 'race' (hey, you gotta call it something), it sounds like NASCAR has the worst spin doctors on the planet. I think they'll end up with the 'It's racing' answer as to what happened.

All the drivers should take the pace lap and park those suckers in the pits this weekend.

falcongtho3 · 08-02-2008, 08:09 AM

Thought I was seeing the line up for last weekends race when I sw the results of qualifying for the Pocono race. JJ on the pole (insert requesite nasty remark here) and Mark sharing the front line...again. Weird...

This week should be more fun to watch.

I got "TIRE'd" from watching Indy.

falcongtho3 · 08-02-2008, 07:21 PM

Yeah, the JJ-lover at work (and I'm serious, this guy is really ate up with JJ-itis) made the comment that JJ'd be winning from the pole again. (Insert another nasty pole-related commment here)
I told him; "No way, this race isn't 10 laps long".

G · 08-03-2008, 12:32 AM

It was nice seeing history made today .............. Nascar in the rain.

G · 08-03-2008, 03:26 PM

Nice to see Mark leading, it would be great for him to pull off the win.

falcongtho3 · 08-03-2008, 06:41 PM

Go, Carl, go!!!!

Azure Blurr · 08-03-2008, 08:47 PM

I've just about quit watching NASCAR. I haven't watched a race in a couple of months. Is JG and JJ still dating?

Why? do you two want to join in with them.

birdman941 · 08-10-2008, 04:20 PM

How about that Marcos Ambrose?
Right now running 3rd with a few laps to go.
He is a 2 time champion of the Aussie Supercar series.
Turned down a prestigious GM (Holden) ride to drive a Ford there.
Sort of the Aussie version of Bill Elliott.

Thunderbolt · 08-17-2008, 04:57 PM

Great race today. All 4 Hendrick's cars in the crapper.
